How might we create a home where we are? Over the course of his three-week residency, Jonathan Berger and a community of craftspeople with whom he often works will construct a handmade scale model attempting to accurately document Kaunas, Lithuania in 1940, just before the city came under Nazi occupation. The artist will juxtapose this project with archival materials from the writer and activist Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz, who is known for her notion of “diasporism”—a non-nationalist form of Jewish identity. Selections from Kaye/Kantrowitz’s archive will be presented in collaboration with her estate and her close friend and frequent editor, journalist Esther Kaplan.
The completed model is based on the research of amateur cartographer Marija Oniščik and will form the first chapter in a project that weaves together political and personal history. Berger’s residency is informed by the story of his mother, who as a young Jewish child was hidden by a Christian family in Kaunas during World War II, and Berger’s own involvement as a teenage member of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, where Kaye/Kantrowitz served as the first Executive Director. Working collectively, Berger creates an occasion to consider antiracist and stateless forms of belonging across different times and places.

Central Park is very fun. There are large lawns and many squirrels running around. You can rent bicycles and ride horse-drawn carriages in the park. It is also nice to just walk around. There is a huge children&#39;s playground not far from Columbus circle. Children from all over the world who come to New York come here to play. They can play in the sand and water, and there are slides, swings, and rockeries. It is easy to play for half a day. There are also many people playing on the lawn. Many people there like to throw frisbees. Many families come here for vacation. It doesn&#39;t get dark until about 8:30 in the summer in the United States, so it&#39;s no problem to play in the park for a whole day!

Very good Bronx Zoo, one of the must-see places in New York. I really like the facilities and garden design here. It is beautiful and friendly to watch. We didn&#39;t see many animals because it was raining.

Bryant Park

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 20, 2017.

Bryant Park is adjacent to the New York Public Library. It is named after the American naturalist poet William Cullen Bryant and is a public space covering one block.

In the middle of the park is a large square lawn; on the east side is a statue of Bryant, with his back against the New York Public Library, looking at the tourists in the park; on the west side of the lawn is a fountain; and around it are a circle of tables and chairs for tourists to relax and rest.

Perhaps because it is in a busy city and next to the library, there are quite a lot of tourists in the park, it is very lively and full of life.
